  Dolores Tacy "Jeanne" (Updike) Russell 
   
  Dolores Russell LEBANON Dolores "Jeanne" Tacy (Updike) Russell, 78, died 
  peacefully on January 31, 2010, at home with her faithful canine companion, 
  Brad, at her feet. Born June 13, 1931, in Huttonsville, W.Va., Jeanne was the 
  daughter of Ora Mae (Swecker) Tacy and Ray Henry Tacy of Huttonsville, W.Va. 
  Jeanne married Russell Bosworth Updike of Elkins, W.Va., in 1956 and they had 
  three children, Marcia, Kirk, and Alan. They divorced in 1964 and Jeanne 
  married Aubrey Alvin Russell of Arkansas in 1965. They divorced and Aubrey 
  Russell predeceased her. Jeanne graduated from the Chesapeake and Ohio Nursing 
  School in Clifton Forge, Va., in 1952. She retired in 1993 from the Lebanon VA 
  Hospital after working more than 30 years as a nurse, including time spent at 
  the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Golden Clinic in Elkins, W.Va., and at the 
  Martinsburg, W.Va., VA Hospital. Highlights of her nursing career also included 
  working in the American Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, and in one of the first 
  dedicated coronary critical care units in the United States (Army Hospital in 
  Fort Belvoir, Va.). Before retiring, Jeanne started a newsletter for nurses 
  that served as a forum for sharing opinions, patient care stories, and practice 
  issues. The newsletter was distributed nationally for two years. Jeanne loved 
  genealogy and recorded much of her family lineage, while helping others do the 
  same. One of her proudest achievements was, with the help of others, 
  establishing the Arnold Hill Cemetery Fund, to maintain and protect gravesites 
  in that cemetery, which had fallen into disrepair, outside of Elkins, W.Va. 
  Active in her retirement, Jeanne traveled to more than 100 countries on all 
  seven continents. She also always had several home projects in progress at all 
  times, from planting tomatoes and flowers, to refinishing antiques and making 
  quilts, to name a few. Jeanne is survived by her daughter, Marcia Updike of 
  Baltimore, Md.; son, Alan Updike and wife, Tuya of Lebanon; granddaughters, 
  Meghan Victoria Updike (Grana) of Uruguay, South America, and Sarah Tuya Updike 
  of Lebanon; and grandson, Aidan John Updike, also of Lebanon. Private funeral 
  services were held at Pleasant View Memory Gardens in Martinsburg, W.Va., on 
  February 3, 2010. Jeanne was laid to rest next to her son, Kirk. Pastor William 
  Crowe officiated. Rohland Funeral Home, Inc. of Lebanon handled the 
  arrangements.
